I sent an e-mail to Terri Irwin about the Corvallis cougar. If anyone could help that cougar kitten, she could. Terri Irwin, the wife of the late Steve Irwin, was once an Oregon cougar rescuer.
I received a response that because Mrs. Irwin gets thousands of e-mails, her e-mails are screened by a company and only those they deem pertinent are allowed on through to her. So, my e-mail was at least given a chance at getting through, but whether it will or not, I don't know.
For those out of this area reading this, a young cougar, probably orphaned, has been roaming a residential area near Good Samaritan Hospital in Corvallis. Fish and Game has set live traps for the cougar and once caught, the cat will be immobilized then killed. This has stirred up debate in Corvallis. Many want the young cat killed. Others don't.
If there is another option, I'm sure all parties would likely agree to it. The only option I could think of was former Oregon cougar rescuer Terri Irwin, now of Australia. That's why I have been trying to reach her. Probably, she is far too busy to help a young cougar in Corvallis.

ReplyDeleteThe bees you are making homes for are called "Mason bees",or orchard blue mason bees..they are more productive than the honeybee,which is dying out from some sort of virus.
ReplyDeleteThe mason bee will return,year after year,to the same field,house,set of holes etc..I watched one yesterday,build it's 'nest' in a small knothole. They kinda look like big houseflies,not like a regular bee.Look them up on line,there;s tons of info on them..
